GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java, is a GNU project to

create free core class libraries for use with virtual machines and compilers

for the java programming language.

Classpath is still a work in progress. The first public release

will be version 1.0. There have been no public releases; however, pre-release

source code is available via GNU's anonymous 

CVS server , and snapshots of the Classpath tree have been released and

are available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/classpath/

Classpath::Roadmap

GNU Classpath 1.0 will be fully compatible with the 1.1 and largely

compliant with the 1.2 API specification and will have a stable API

for interacting with virtual machines.

Current snapshot releases have implementations for the following

packages (and some subpackages) java.applet, java.awt,

java.beans, java.io, java.lang, java.math, java.net, java.rmi,

java.security, java.sql, java.text, java.util, java.util.jar,

java.util.zip, org.omg. Not all classes and methods are implemented yet,

but most are. many of the implemented classes are already up to the

1.2 API spec. Some are already compliant with the 1.3 and 1.4 API

specification (there are preliminary implementations of

java.nio and javax.swing).
